DiGiorno Introduces New Flatbread Melts and Serves Up an Irresistible
Invitation to America: Lunch on Us!

GLENVIEW, Ill., May 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The lunch hour just isn't
what it used to be. Nearly half (45 percent) of the country's workers say
they're taking shorter and/or fewer lunch breaks than they did a year ago. And
while many are skipping lunch to trim expenses, more than a third say they
pass on the mid-day lunch break thanks to an increasing workload(1).

DiGiorno is bringing innovation to the workplace to infuse a little excitement
into America's lunchtime woes and help workers take back their lunch hour. For
the first time ever, the DiGiorno brand is bringing fresh-baked taste beyond
the pizza aisle with new DiGiorno Flatbread Melts, a line of premium,
single-serve handheld meals. With toasty flatbread folded over
Italian-inspired ingredients such as white meat chicken, fire-roasted
vegetables and delectable cheeses, new DiGiorno Flatbread Melts help consumers
make the most of their busy lunch break with a hot, restaurant-quality meal in
less than four minutes. 

"Whether you're buried under a full desk of work or running late to a meeting
because of noontime traffic jams, we understand that finding time to enjoy
lunch can be a challenge," said Tom Moe, Director-Marketing of DiGiorno. 
"With new DiGiorno Flatbread Melts, we're serving up a delicious, premium meal
in just minutes to help busy consumers make the most of their lunch."
